The CCC service adopts a "whole-person" approach to address the client's needs related to physical health, behavioral health, and social determinants of health. CCC involves coordination of care between the behavioral health clinician and the clinical personnel of an external provider (e.g., primary care, another behavioral health provider, hospital).
CCC occurs when the practitioner, through direct face-to- face contact, videoconferencing, or telephone, communicates treatment needs, assessments, and treatment information to external health care providers and facilitates appropriate linkages with other health care professionals, including transitions into or from higher levels of care or institutional settings. CCC also includes treatment planning and plan of care implementation activities that are separate from the diagnostic assessment service, when the clinician and client are meeting face-to-face or through video-conference.
The Clinical Care Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the client is at the appropriate LOC. If the client fails to make progress or has met all of their treatment goals, the Clinical Care Coordinator shall ensure timely assessment and transfer to a more appropriate LOC.
The CCC service must be documented in an encounter note that indicates the intended purpose of that particular service, the actions taken, and the result(s) achieved.
CCC shall be provided in certified SUD treatment programs or community settings.
